INTRODUCTION 

This  Instruction  Manual  contains  a  description  of  the  type 

SureFire  II

TM 

SP-48-NG/PG-ND 

gas  pilot 

construction, operation principle and the instructions for installation, start-up and service, including the industrial 
health & safety recommendations. 

The 

SP-48-NG/PG-ND 

(

48 

mm outer diameter, 

NG 

- Natural Gas or 

PG 

- Propane Gas or LPG, 

ND 

- Natural 

Draught) gas pilot is a reliable and effective source of ignition for oil and gas burners. 

Pilot Part Number for Natural Gas is “

SP-48-NG-ND-xxx

”, for Propane Gas or LPG gas is “

SP-48-PG-ND-xxx

” 

where  “-xxx”  is  the  insertion  length  “L”  from  0.5  to  2.0  metres.  (see  Appendix  1  –  the  pilot  capacity  vs.  gas 
pressure graphs for Natural gas and Propane). For other Fuel gas types or capacity ranges – see p. 11 Ordering 
Information for Special Pilots Part Numbering approach. 

The pilot is constructed of high quality materials, and each unit is checked and tested before dispatch. 

Acquaintance  with  the  following  instructions  and  strict  attention  to  the  indications  reduce  the  possibility  of 
equipment failure to a minimum and ensure safety during normal operation.
